With only 11 games left in the regular season, Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert had the most efficient field-goal percentage game of the season, connecting in 13-of-14 shots from the floor en route to a career-high 35 points against the New York Knicks.
âThe Stifle Towerâ feasted on the low block, gobbling up a career-high 11 offensive rebounds and getting put-back dunks and layups at will.

The previous NBA high was held by L.A. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan and Houston Rockets forward/center Montrezl Harrell â both shooting 12-of-13 (92.3 percent) from the field.
Gobert has been sensational for the fourth-seeded Jazz this year, setting career highs in points (13.5), rebounds (12.8), blocks (2.6), field goal percentage (65.7 percent), and free-throw percentage (65.8 percent) while playing in every game this season.
The French international leads the league in blocks, is second to Jordan in field goal percentage, and fifth in rebounding â giving the Jazz a plethora of reasons to keep him on the floor with the explosive season he's had thus far.
